Ready to move to Canada? We have a Suggestion – Entrepreneur visa

With the latest news and updates, more and more people are thinking about moving to Canada.  One of the options that we advise is the British Columbia Provincial Nomination Program (BC-PNP) – Entrepreneur Immigration Process.  This process is based on a point or score system, like other immigration processes to Canada.  The more you score high on each requirements of the BC-PNP, more chances you get picked from the qualified pool of other applicants.

The requirements for this process are:

  1. Personal net worth: You have to at least have minimum $600,000 in personal net worth which includes cash, assets in bank, fixed deposits, real property, investment in stocks, bonds, pensions or other assets and the sources have to be verifiable and legal. You must invest minimum of $200,000 from the above personal net worth to the business.
  2. Business experience and Education: You must have more than 3 years of active business experience as an owner of the business OR you must have more than 4 years of experience as a senior manager in the business.  You can either have a post-secondary education or be 100% owner of a business for last 3 of 5 years.
  3. Business location: The proposed business must be located in smaller communities with population of less than 500,000 people.
  4. You must have a good business plan which will describe what business you are planning, what is the market strategy, how will you have Canadian citizens work for you and so on.

Those who receive high scores will be put in a pool of applicants for evaluation.  From this you would be granted a temporary work permit for two years.  Within 18-20 months you would need to submit a final report showing your progress and how your business had created jobs, and you have followed all the necessary criteria.  Once this report has been submitted, depending on your score, you will be invited to apply to be a Canadian Permanent Resident.
